Sweet Potato Latkes With Apples and Onions

If you make traditional Potato Pancakes, Latkes for Hanukah give these a try for a twist everyone will love. These Sweet Potato Latkes or Sweet Potato Pancakes (whatever you prefer to call them) are so good you will want to eat all of them. Don’t just take it from me. Yummly thought so too!

I made them tonight and the kids wouldn’t even let me send any to my mom’s house for her to taste. My son told me not to even publish the recipe because they are just too good to share. My husband asked if I could make them every night! Well, of course not. Something this good can only come around once a year.

Get out the boxing gloves. This is a fried Holiday treat that you’ll fight over. (Makes about 12-14 medium sized pancakes)

Made them today……they turned out great! My 13 year-old son who hates yams actually likes these! I dropped a large ‘meatball’ of mixture in the pan and just flattened it gently with my spatula. I found that way they stuck together much better. Thanks for the recipe!

Sugar, I’m guessing I can use any pancake mix, not only ‘Complete’?
I’m talking to you from the UK so when I’m making your recipes I have to substitute a lot because you use things that we don’t have over here as well as things I’ve never heard of!!

I didn’t have any sweet potatoes so I made them yesterday with white potatoes. They were delish!!!! My hubby ate so many!!!! This is a keeper, thank you so much for these recipes!! Believe me, I have written a book with some of my recipes that family & friends have requested that I make for them, so I am not new to cooking and baking!!!! Love to read new ideas!

best latkes i ever made!!! instead of 1/2 a regular onion i used 1/2 a red onion… all the colours together look amazing and they are deeeeeelicious! thank you so much! i am SO going to be the hit of the chanukah party tonight 😉 happy chanukah!

ilana, You can use some flour instead. I used to make them with Bisquick but them one day I was out so all I had was pancake mix and it worked so well I use that instead. Try the Bisquick and it should be fine.

Yum! I’m sure the garlic was a nice touch. I have made them before with cayenne pepper too. Food processor makes it so much easier but not everyone has one so I like to show the old fashioned way. LOL!!
